  • Provides drug-free treatment.

  • A holistic approach to the treatment of disease and illness. Encompasses the whole person, body, mind and emotions.
  • Safe and effective with very few negative side effects.

Health Conditions

Many health conditions that do not respond well to Western treatment respond much better to TCM – Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is because TCM takes a holistic approach to target the health problem.

The World Health Organisation (Dec. 1979) recognises several disorders that have been successfully treated by Acupuncture.

Health Conditions that Acupuncture treats well:

  • Gastrointestinal – Nausea, ulcers, heartburn, diarrhoea.
  • Skin Disorders – Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, acne.
  • Ear, Nose and Throat – Common cold, sinusitis, chronic cough.
  • Eyes – Visual disorders, red, sore, itchy or watery eyes, conjunctivitis.
  • Gynaecological and Urogenital – Menstrual pain, premenstrual tension (PMT), infertility, urinary retention.
  • Psychological problems – Anxiety, nervous tension, insomnia, depression, headaches.
  • Cardiovascular – High blood pressure, palpitation, cold extremities.
  • Respiratory – Asthma, chronic bronchitis, acute tonsillitis, sore throat.
  • Neurological – Headaches, migraines, facial and intercostal neuralgia, numbness and pins and needles in arms and legs.
  • Musculoskeletal – Sciatica, lumbago, low back pain, arthritis, gout, neck pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow.
  • Sporting Injuries – Sprained ankle and knees, torn ligaments and bruises.
